Not surprised at all they can send one of those missiles to your front door. Do a little research.

The shooting war ended about 50 years ago. Between then and now, North Korea developed nuclear weapons capability as a deterrent from ever being threatened by the US militarily.

Nothing has changed. The country has finished testing its missiles and nuclear warheads and can now talk about testing bans. North Korea has its nuclear deterrent. South Korea and Japan are easily within range. Kim Jong Il can now talk peace and brotherhood in the interests of improving its economy but isn't going to give up possession of their nuclear arms.

If you think this is some big peace initiative, you've been had.

not to mention that Kim's nuclear testing/building facility in the mountain has collapsed (we suspect). What a good way to buy some time until the next is built by pretending to want peace.

Not Fake News.

Just don't make too much of it. For the foreseeable future, there will be no "nuclear free Korean peninsula" coming out of this or any diplomatic missions decades at least.

North Korea has what it wants in terms of a nuclear deterrent and is ready to move on to negotiations to improve its economy. Wasn't it obvious that North Korea was never planning to use their weapons out of an act of aggression? I've been saying all along that the talk about "striking the US" was all bluster. North Korea quite rightly wanted nuclear weapon capability as a deterrent to prevent the US from ever considering invasion. It has them now and is in a good negotiating position to win economic concessions from the US and its allies.

This isn't even a surprise. It is an unfortunate expansion in the number of countries that hold nuclear weapons in their arsenal. As long as the US remains such a warlike nation, smaller countries will quite naturally seek their own nuclear arsenal. Iran quite rationally is developing their own capability. Given the neighborhood they live in, it's a very reasonable thing to do.
